My slightly unusual crashing

[zigzag3143]

Im realizing now that the one disk i have is a pre-windows7 prep thing.

Damn.

You can download a win 7 image but you are going to need a valid key to use it for more than a few days

As far as I know there isnt a place to download a copy of windows legally. My suggestion is either find your install/upgrade disk or call the manufacturer and they should be able to send you another disk. This will work if you still have your key code then you can do a clean wipe and install 32bit.

Does anyone else have any other ideas? I'm at a loss right now.

Your system files are corrupted. The only way to fix them is with a system disk. In this case you need a widows 7 install disk to repair. I know it sucks but thats how windows works sorry man.
